While I definitely agree with you that they are not synonymous, inspiration IS the motivation for me. As an artist, if I don't have any ideas, I laze around and don't feel like doing anything, but when the inspiration strikes, I want nothing more than to bring my vision to life. That's what I wanted to represent here.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I put a lot of thought into the design to represent my idea visually, and I'm glad you like how it turned out

Actually, by definition, it does:

"inspiration: The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something"

I'm not sure how much more of a connection could possibly exist. Your argument could apply to bacon, or coffee, or being chased by a dinosaur, since all of those things don't NECESSARILY lead to motivation, but inspiration absolutely DOES lead to motivation.

Your design does not SHOW motivation. I've only read that inspiration motivates you- but where is the actual motivation in this design?
